These penny loafers are just beautiful in the Cordovan color, which is very dark, with just hint of a dimensional reddish tint. They are quite shiny, which makes them dressier than most loafers, as does the cut, which is narrow. I usually wear a size 9 in flat shoes, but the fit finder advised me to go up to a 9-1/2. I did notice some heel slippage with my smaller foot as I was walking around the house, but that could just be my narrow heels, as the fit feels fine otherwise (my heel is the only part of my foot that is narrow!). These do seem to run slightly narrow overall, so I would say sizing up is the right choice if you have wider feet, especially since the leather is quite rigid and won't stretch as quickly as suede. I do think these will need a bit of breaking in, but it will be worth it. The cushioning feels heavenly, and the soles have a nice rubber grip on them. I'm looking forward to making these my go to fall shoe!

I absolutely adore my Cole Hahn Penny Loafers! I have a very narrow foot, and your shoes fit better than almost any other brand. These loafers fit like a glove and have been comfortable from the first time I put them on. Believer me, that hardly ever happens for me. Another plus is that they remind me of my college days; we all wore loafers...and that was in the mid-1960's! The quality of the workmanship, the leather, and the fit make these my favorite shoes. Thanks you so much. ( Please keep making narrow sizes; more women wear them than the companies think.)

This is an absolutely gorgeous, well made shoe. If only it wasn't so narrow! The shoe did not come in wide, so I ordered 1/2 size up thinking it would be fine. I was wrong! There is absolutely no way I could wear these beauties. My feet hurt just wearing them while I sat down. Unfortunately, they are going back to the store. :-( They are soooooo pretty though.
